The Chinese Question: the German Occupation of Kiao-Chau - Captain Trüppel, the new governor of Kiao-Chau, in his office in the Chinese Yamen, or Government House, at Tsingtan, 1898. 'Facsimile Sketch by our Special Artist, Mr. Melton Prior. "The Yamen of Tsingtan was the official residence of the Chinese General, who, although he was assured of every consideration by the Germans when they landed if he would remain, preferred to withdraw with his army. The building is now occupied by Captain Trüppel, the present German Governor, and his staff; and the peculiar window interested me so much that I could not resist sketching the room as it is. The window and design are of wood, with a covering of paper. Captain Trüppel's position at present is not an enviable one, as he is at work from morning to night replying to telegrams and in making arrangements for the improvement of the town, and the safety of his men now holding the part of the Shantung Peninsula occupied by Germany".' Melton Prior. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
